Nigeria: Muslims attack Catholic church, burn a priest to death

There is no identifying information as to the attackers in the report below, but my contacts in Nigeria inform me that in this case yet again they were Fulani herdsmen, that is, Islamic jihadis who are terrorizing the Christians of the land in efforts to establish an Islamic caliphate in West Africa.

Here are 12 majors that are unlikely to get you a good return on your investment.
